Thunder vs – After a double-overtime Game 1 that produced 237 points, the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder host the San Antonio Spurs for Game 2 on Wednesday with OKC listed as a 7.5-point favorite. Victor Wembanyama’s 41 points and 24 rebounds defined the first game—and t
The lights at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City will be on again Wednesday, but the memory of Game 1 is still ringing—especially for anyone who watched Victor Wembanyama turn a road trip into a statement.
San Antonio came into Oklahoma City and pulled off a 122-115 win in double overtime against the top-seeded Thunder. Wembanyama scored 41 points and grabbed 24 rebounds, while Dylan Harper added 24 points and seven steals. Now. with the series split after an instant-classic opener. the Thunder have one clear job: salvage the split at home in Game 2.
Dealing with that pressure won’t be simple. The Spurs have one injury concern entering the matchup: De’Aaron Fox (ankle) is listed as questionable for San Antonio. Tipoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET.
The betting board reflects a team trying to reset its footing. The latest Thunder vs. Spurs odds from FanDuel Sportsbook list OKC as a 7.5-point favorite. The over/under is 216.5. The money line has the Thunder at -247, with the Spurs at +201.
Even the first game’s final score doesn’t tell the whole story. Game 1 produced 237 combined points, a number heavily shaped by the double overtime. And that’s exactly where one major betting lean is coming from.
A model run by SportsLine’s Mike Barner is pointing toward a low-scoring Game 2, leaning Under 216.5 total points. Barner enters this game on a 132-92 run on all NBA picks, returning $2,211 for $100 players during that span.
Barner’s reasoning starts with what happened in regulation. “There were a combined 202 points scored in regulation in Game 1,” Barner said. “We already know how suffocating the Thunder’s defense can be. but the Spurs are also up to the task on that end of the floor. The Thunder also don’t shoot a ton of 3-pointers. which can be a problem for this series with Wembanyama lurking at the rim. Look for another low-scoring matchup.”.
What stands out in that setup is the shared theme: Game 1’s scoring explosion isn’t being treated like a trend—it’s being treated like an outlier driven by extended minutes. With another run into double overtime described as unlikely. the focus shifts to what the teams look like when the clock is still normal: regulation pace. defensive pressure. and shots that don’t inflate the total.
Barner also flags a critical x-factor that’s meant to drive one side of the spread. though the specific x-factor isn’t detailed here. What is clear is where the attention is landing for bettors now: Game 2 doesn’t just begin a new chapter—it’s an immediate test of whether Oklahoma City can tighten things up after the chaos of 122-115 in double overtime.

The series moves on Wednesday with the Thunder favored at home, the total set below Game 1’s 237, and one towering reminder from Game 1 that nothing will be easy as long as Wembanyama is on the floor.
